Maybe a slight tangent, but I bought mine yesterday from PC World, but now want a bigger one, I asked them, and they won't accept it, will Apple? Or is my only option eBay?

Where did you buy it from? What did you say? Any details would be much appreciated!

Apple are happy to exchange my iPad for the 32gb one, no charge just need to wait for stock to arrive!

Excellent! I'm glad that's worked out for you.

Cool, carry on returning those ipads and we should start to see some refurb's in the online apple store.

More likely to be refurbed and used as genius bar replacements first. I wish I got the 32gb in the first place instead of my 16gb I am writing on now.

i doubt apple will even have refurb ipads,

i believe there treated like the iphone, and considering there battery replacement policy, they will need alot of on hand ipad's.

oh no doubt they will be, I was holding off for the iphone instead but the day after the ipad release date I wanted an ipad (not even touched one yet) but I daren't go to the apple store as I knew they would be all out of stock. Holding off now for the iphone

Definite 14 days no questions policy at UK Apple stores. They tell you this at the counter when you buy anything.

I bought a Touch and was so impressed I swapped it for an iPhone on release day, 3 years ago.

I've just gone from 32gb to 64gb today. No restocking fee for the UK.

I wondered if I could just bring my 32 to the local Apple store to swap it over and pay the difference, but no dice. However, Apple will collect the old one by courier, fee free, and refund the cost in full once it's returned.

So the 64gb one from the store went on my credit card for a few days till Apple refund me all but the £100 excess. Job done.

PC world won't let you do such a thing. But they will allow you to do a refund, so long as you return it within 7 days. Then you can repurchase a larger one.

Yeah, I rang them up, they just said no, we don't have a returns policy - it was basically get screwed in all honesty. It's an awesome piece of kit though, so I'll just stick with it! One thing though, can you return one you've bought from PC World to Apple?

No you can't, although you should be able to get a full refund.Check your receipt for the returns policy.
